TORONTO (AP) \u2014 The Hockey Hall of Fame says the pucks used to score the gold medal-winning men\u2019s<\/a> and women\u2019s goals<\/a> at the Milan Cortina Olympics are part of its permanent collection after being donated by the International Ice Hockey Federation.<\/p>\n

The Hall released a statement about its artifacts from the Games on Wednesday, a day after Jack Hughes, who scored the golden goal in overtime for the U.S. men<\/a>, told ESPN he wanted the puck so he could give it to his father, Jim.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese artifacts are preserved, exhibited and shared with fans worldwide through our museum and international outreach programs, ensuring that defining Olympic and World Championship moments remain protected and accessible to the global hockey community,\u201d the Hall said in a statement sent to The Associated Press. \u201cWe hold tremendous respect for the men and women who create these unforgettable moments on the ice, and we remain committed to preserving their achievements in a manner that is responsible, secure and accessible to fans everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

The U.S. swept men’s, women’s and Paralympic sled hockey gold<\/a>, beating Canada in each final to win all three for the first time in the same year. Megan Keller scored the women’s golden goal, also in OT, and that puck is similarly enshrined.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese donated items represent defining moments on the world\u2019s biggest stage and carry powerful stories of national pride and hockey history at its highest level,\u201d Hall of Fame President and CEO Jamie Dinsmore said in a statement Monday about the Olympic showcase. \u201cThe Olympics \u201926 display will help ensure that these unforgettable Olympic moments are preserved for our guests from around the world to experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

A stick from American Brady Tkachuk and gloves from teammate Jack Eichel, along with jerseys from Canada captain Sidney Crosby and Sweden forward William Nylander, are among the more than 70 items that will be on display for a limited time.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, the IIHF has provided the Hockey Hall of Fame with official pucks and other historic artifacts commemorating key moments from each Olympic hockey tournament, including Sidney Crosby\u2019s iconic 2010 \u2018Golden Goal,\u2019 as well as Natalie Darwitz\u2019s Gold Medal winning goal puck from the 2008 World Championships,” the Hall said. \u201cOur mission is to collect, preserve, research, exhibit, and promote artifacts, images, and stories that are significant to hockey\u2019s worldwide legacy. Established to honor and preserve the history of hockey, the Hockey Hall of Fame recognizes those who have made outstanding contributions to the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
